摘要: Rice false smut caused byVillosiclava virensis one of the destructive diseases on panicles of rice. Sexual development ofV. virens, controlled by mating-type locus, plays an important role in the prevalence of rice false smut and genetic diversity of the pathogen. However, how the mating-type genes mediate sexual development of theV. virensremains largely unknown. In this study, we characterized the two mating-type genes,MAT1-1-1andMAT1-1-2, inV. virens.MAT1-1-1knockout mutant showed defects in hyphal growth, conidia morphogenesis, sexual development, and increase in the tolerance to salt and osmotic stress. Targeted deletion ofMAT1-1-2not only impaired the sclerotia formation and pathogenicity ofV. virens, but also reduced the production of conidia. TheMAT1-1-2mutant showed increases in tolerance to salt and hydrogen peroxide stress, but decreases in tolerance to osmotic stress. Yeast two-hybrid assay showed that MAT1-1-1 interacted with MAT1-1-2, indicating that those proteins might form a complex to regulate sexual development. In addition, MAT1-1-1 localized in the nucleus, and MAT1-1-2 localized in the cytoplasm. Collectively, our results demonstrate thatMAT1-1-1andMAT1-1-2play important roles in the conidiation, stress response, sexual development, and pathogenicity ofV. virens, thus providing new insights into the function of mating-type gene.
